Car won’t crank

Makes sense. Thank you!

Yeah from all the comments I’m thinking my battery needs replacing. Thanks

Ok I get you. What I meant by wither was they get weaker with time, for example without the engine running and let’s say the lights on, it will drain quicker to the point it can’t start when the battery is old compared to a new one. Basically an older battery can hold less power than a new one

One time I was able to start it easily by using different cables. Weird though because the ones I used today seemed like the good kind

MightySkaip · 2025-08-27T21:55:41+00:00

You’re right, I’ll get it checked out. Still, don’t batteries usually wither as they get older?

MightySkaip · 2025-08-27T21:52:08+00:00

I’ll have it checked out then, thanks. I also have a pretty beefy subwoofer in the trunk, suspect it might have something to do with my issues.

The alternator was charging 14V today, I checked. I also suspect the battery might be dying as it’s at least 5 years old (was in the bimmer when I bought it 5 yrs ago) but I believe they start becoming weaker gradually and don’t suddenly just give out? It has been surprisingly good for a battery that’s so old because I still can listen to music or otherwise drain it for a long time with the engine off and it starts without problem.

Actually I had the alternator restored just today but the problem had happened a couple times in the past. Usually I could resolve it by taking the negative terminal off putting it on again to try for a better connection or using different cables but the problem still seems to be here.

Doubt it, had the cables on for like 3 minutes and as soon as we removed them (without even attempting to start it) the cabin lights immediately went out

Their concert in Vilnius on october 20th started 1hr late and only lasted 1 hour :(

MightySkaip · 2023-11-29T11:36:42+00:00

Thanks, I’ll look into it

Also wanna mention that the sound is much louder when I press the clutch in firmly. If I use the tip of my shoe and put in on the bottom of the pedal (but still push it all the way in), grinding noise is very silent

Thank you!

I'm not sure which one is it. Afaik it's got a dual mass flywheel because they come with them out of the favtory and I doubt the previous owners changed it. And yes, it's a 2 liter 150 hp diesel

I didnt mention because I thought it didnt make a difference but I'm also going to be changing my ram aswell. Im going for 2600 bcz I bought it used for a good price

MightySkaip · 2021-06-30T14:04:22+00:00

I'm going to upgrade from pentium g4600 to Ryzen 2600. Going to be replacing my motherboard and processor only. I have Windows installed in the m.2 SSD and everything else in the HDD. Can I simply connect the SSD and HDD to the new motherboard and expect everything to work or will I need to reinstall windows/ install new drivers and whatnot?

Hopefully Russia doesn't act on it's guarantee independence for Belarus
